Technical Road Function Wellness Test on the Simpang Kelayang –

The Simpang Kelayang – Lubuk Sitarak road section plays a crucial role in facilitating the distribution of goods and services within the regency. Assessing the road's functional adequacy from a technical standpoint is essential to identify its fitness and determine the reasons for any functional deficiencies. The analysis of road functional tests involves measuring deviations from field conditions against technical standards, including geometric road technicalities, pavement structure, complementary building structures, spatial utilization, traffic management, and road equipment. The method utilized divides road segments according to the Minister of Public Works Regulation No. 11/PRT/M/2010. Results indicate that the Simpang Kelayang – Lubuk Sitarak road section (STA 0+000 – STA 2+010) falls into the category of conditional functional fitness (LS), indicating suitability for operation but requiring recommended technical improvements. Generally, the lack of road functional adequacy in this section stems from failure to meet technical standards in road technical aspects.


INTRODUCTION
Roads are land transportation infrastructure which includes all parts of roads, including complementary buildings and equipment intended for traffic, which are on the ground surface, above the ground surface, below the ground and water surface, as well as on the water surface, except railways, truck roads and cable roads.Public roads are roads intended for traffic.
Based on Article 30 of the Republic of Indonesia Law number 38 of 2004 concerning Roads, it is stated that public roads are operated after they have been determined to meet the requirements for administrative technical road functionality.According to the Minister of Public Works Regulation Number 11/PRT/M/2010, concerning Procedures and Requirements for Road Worthiness, road worthiness is the condition of a road section that meets the technical roadworthiness requirements to provide safety for its users, and administrative requirements that provide certainty laws for road administration and road users, so that the road can be operated for the public.Article 102 of the Republic of Indonesia Government Regulation number 34 paragraph 4 states that a public road section is declared technically functional if it meets the requirements of the technical aspects of road pavement structure, technical structure of road complementary buildings, technical road geometry, technical use of road parts, technical implementation of management and traffic engineering, and technical road equipment.

LITERATURE REVIEW Road Functional Feasibility
Road functional feasibility is the condition of a road section that meets the technical requirements for feasibility to provide safety for its users, and administrative requirements that provide legal certainty for road operators and road users so that the road can be operated for the public.Road functional feasibility procedures and requirements are prepared with the aim of providing roads that meet safety, smooth, economical and environmentally friendly requirements.

Requirements for Road Functionality
Road

Test and Evaluation Procedures for Roadworthiness
Implementation of road functional feasibility tests and evaluations includes physical inspection of roads and inspection of road management documents.Physical inspection is the fulfilment of road functional feasibility technical requirements on a road section, while inspection of road management documents is testing the fulfilment of road functional feasibility J administrative requirements on a road section.

Technical Feasibility Test
According to the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works number.11/PRT/M/2010concerning Procedures and Requirements for Road Functionality, the implementation of a road worthiness test includes physical inspection of the road and inspection of road maintenance documents.Physical inspection of roads is to test the fulfilment of technical requirements for roadworthiness on a road section.Examination of road management documents is to test the road for roadworthiness on a road section.

METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is a discussion of the theoretical concepts of various methods, their advantages and disadvantages, which in scientific work is followed by the selection of the methods used.(Hidayat and Sedarmayanti: 2002).Research methodology is a process for obtaining data that will be used for research.Research methodology is needed to determine the method that will be used in conducting research on the Jalan Simpang Kelayang -Lubuk Sitarak section.The method used in this research is a technical analysis method

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the results of the analysis for each segment, it can be concluded as follows: 1.The Simpang Kelayang-Lubuk Sitarak road section STA 0+000 to STA 2+010 with a length of 201 km divided into 4 segments has categories of functionally appropriate (L) and conditional functionally appropriate (LS), meaning that the road section is suitable for operation but must be followed by recommended technical improvements.2. The causes of unsuitable road functions in each segment are as follows.
a. Regarding technical road geometry, namely the sub-components of traffic lanes, safety thresholds, parcel access, this is due to the possibility that when planning for road construction, the applicable technical standards were not taken into account or there was a lack of socialization among the parties involved regarding the technical standards for the road's functional worthiness, on The subcomponent of the side ditch still has a lot of rubbish and sedimentation so that the ditch is not optimal in draining water.In the sub-component of traffic safety equipment in the form of concrete barriers there are still damaged areas, possibly lack of routine maintenance.b.In relation to the technical aspects of road complementary buildings, namely the sub-components of bridges, overpasses and underpasses, this is because the bridge traffic lanes and pedestrian lanes do not comply with technical standards.It is possible that when planning for bridge construction they did not take into account the applicable technical standards or there was a lack of outreach to the parties -parties related to technical standards for the road's functional worthiness.c.Regarding technical road space, namely the sub-components of road utility space, road property space, road monitoring space, this is due to the possibility that when planning for road construction, the applicable technical standards were not taken into account or there was a lack of socialization to the relevant parties regarding the technical standards for the road's functional worthiness.d.Regarding the technical implementation and traffic engineering, the sub-components of road markings are no longer clearly visible, possibly due to a lack of routine maintenance of road markings.e. Technical road equipment that is directly related to road users, namely sub-components of road markings, road signs, is likely due to a lack of routine maintenance.f.Technical road equipment that is not directly related to road users, namely the sub-components of kilometer markers, hectometer markers, road space markers (Rumija), is likely due to a lack of routine maintenance.

FURTHER RESEARCH
This research still has limitations so further research needs to be done on this topic "Technical Road Function Wellness Test on the Simpang Kelayang -Lubuk Sitarak Road Section, Indragiri Hulu District." Figure 1.Research Location (Source: Google Map) Technical road equipment that is not directly related to road users, such as guideposts, kilometre and hectometre markers, Rumija markers, section boundary markers, road fences, rest areas, and safety equipment facilities for road users.
